[Bodhisatwa]

Hi! my cpu configuration is below--
amd athlon x2 260 3.2 ghz proceesor
4gb starlite ddr3 1333 ram
gigabyte 78lmts2p motherboard
iball lpe223-400 smps
lg l1515s tft monitor

as suggested by the other members ,i bought the 6670 1gb ddr5 today!

i think my processor is bottlenecked by the gpu..
what does overclocking the cpu do?how does it help?

Overclocking your CPU will make it run faster.

If your CPU is being bottlenecked by the GPU, that means the your GPU is the chokepoint. Making your CPU run faster will not help.

However, I do not think that is true. I think that your CPU cannot feed enough data to your GPU. If true, overclocking will help.
